DVD Review: Watchmen Director’s Cut 2-Disc Set

Watchmen: Director's Cut is now available on DVD!

Watchmen is a off the beaten path tale about a group of former costume crusaders who have split up after many years of serving together as comrades in arms and are now having to face each other again due to someone or something killing off one of their former members. It plays out much like a detective noir tale with superhero trappings along the edges. It is important for the viewer to understand going into the film that this is not your typical superhero film as Watchmen is something completely different. This is an extremely graphic story and they don't pull any punches (or hold back on the blue genitailia).

DVD Review: Super Capers

The Superhero genre parody Super Capers is now available on DVD.

After wannabe superhero Ed Gruberman (Lois and Clark's Justin Whalin) attempts to save a damsel in distress, he is sued by the mugger (played by Clint Howard). The judge decides to side with Gruberman but insists that he be trained by the Super Capers program for lacking superheroes.

He is driven to the Super Capers program by the infamous "Man-Bat" (played by Batman's Adam West) who now runs a taxi service using the Man-Batmobile. Once at the compound, Gruberman meets the rest of the team which includes: Sarge (Tommy Listner), Will Powers (Chuck's Ryan McPartlin), Felicia Freeze (Danielle Harris), and Puffer Boy (Ray Griggs). Can these struggling superheroes get it together in time to save the world?

Blu-ray Review: Torchwood Season 2

"The 21st Century is when everything changes…and Torchwood is ready."

The impressive second season of Torchwood is now available for you to own on Blu-ray!

With the successful relaunch of the Doctor Who franchise, Executive Producers Russell T Davies and Julie Garner decided to expand the Who-Universe to a new series, Torchwood (an anagram for Doctor Who). The series is focused on a British Government team of Paranormal Investigators. They are the first line of defense in case of alien invasion. The team is led by Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), a man who simply cannot die. Team members Gwen (Eve Myles), Owen (Burn Gorman), Toshiko (Naoko Mori) and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd) also return for the second season.

DVD Review: Spectacular Spider-Man The Complete First Season

The Complete First Season of the Spectacular Spider-Man is now available on DVD in one amazing set!

Now you can enjoy all 13 episodes of the hit animated series any time you want. Season 2 has just started airing here in the United States, so you might want to use this as a refresher before diving into the new season.

One of the most consistent shows on television, the Spectacular Spider-Man sets the bar high for all the competition. Armed with an extremely talented cast and crew, the show has proven itself to be one of the best written, most entertaining, and overall faithful adaptations of the Spider-Man mythos.

Cowabunga dudes! To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Franchise, Warner Brothers has just released ALL 4 TMNT Movies on Blu-ray! This is the first time the original live action movies have made their way to Blu-ray. These classics from our childhood have been captured in HD for the first time and I can easily say that they look amazing!

It is very important to point out that the case for this set isn't your typical Blu-ray box…it's actually made out of a pizza box!

Stargate Universe, the newest incarnation of the Stargate franchise, is about to launch in October 2009, and fans were lucky enough to catch an extended glimpse at this new series in Ballroom 20 on Friday.

Ryan Reynolds is GREEN LANTERN!

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Ryan Reynolds has just been officially cast as Hal Jordan for the upcoming live action Green Lantern film…and I couldn't be more excited. Reynolds is perfect for the role. His average joe reactions and comic timing make this a solid choice.

In my opinion, Green Lantern can't hit theatres soon enough.

Stay tuned to ComicsOnline for more information on Green Lantern as it becomes available.
